Nick Schulman Wins Eighth WSOP Bracelet in H.O.R.S.E. Victory (US)
Poker legend Nick Schulman has done it again—capturing his eighth World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event, further cementing his status as one of the most versatile players in the game.
Schulman outlasted a stacked field of mixed-game specialists at the 2026 WSOP to claim the title and a six-figure payday. The tournament drew hundreds of entrants, testing competitors across five distinct poker disciplines: Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Stud, and Stud Hi-Lo. Schulman’s deep understanding of each variant proved decisive as he navigated a grueling final table. This marks his first bracelet victory since 2023 and moves him into an elite group of players with at least eight WSOP titles.
“I’ve always loved mixed games because they force you to stay sharp in every format,” Schulman said after the win. “This field was incredibly tough, so winning feels especially meaningful.” The victory adds to a résumé that includes multiple High Roller wins and a World Poker Tour title. For the U.S. poker community, Schulman’s triumph underscores the growing prestige of mixed-game events at the WSOP, which continue to attract both seasoned pros and ambitious amateurs.
